Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 78 /100

Night Has Come received generally positive reactions from viewers and genre reviewers, who commended its high-stakes survival premise and intense atmosphere. Critics highlighted the series for its strong acting, high tension, and effective blend of mystery and gore. The mid-series episodes were particularly praised for maintaining a gripping guessing game as the deadly Mafia rules played out.

However, reception was more mixed regarding the narrative's conclusion and character logic. Several reviewers expressed disappointment with a finale they found rushed or incomplete, while others felt the story lost momentum toward the end or suffered from irrational character choices. Despite these flaws, many considered the series a worthwhile entry in the Korean horror-thriller genre.

“While 'Night Has Come' is undoubtedly a masterpiece in the horror genre for 2023, it is a complex watch.”

“The performances are strong overall.”

“I think it has great mystery, suspense, and gore.”

“It was a miss and a very rushed ending.”

Why fans love it

Night Has Come turns the simplicity of a classroom pastime into a high-stakes survival exercise. The narrative focuses on high school students stranded during a retreat who find themselves forced to participate in a lethal version of the mafia game. Characters like Lee Jae-in must navigate the psychological pressure of the deciding vote, where the line between peer interaction and execution becomes uncomfortably thin.

The series leans into the anxiety of isolation and the breakdown of social hierarchies. As the horror elements escalate, the mystery moves beyond simple survival to address the origin of the curse itself. It creates a vacuum where typical school drama is stripped away, leaving only the baffled reactions of students tasked with choosing who lives until the next morning.
